I appreciate constructive criticism for future reference, and it has come to my attention how much I mainly focused on Ella the last story, so, as is my nature, I'm going to basically be focusing as much attention as is possible on the Titans and their REAL nature. It's easy for me to get off track so, these chapters might take a while.

And then the third chapter comes in. . .

Side Note: She is one person, Her is another, and so is He. I am still refusing to reveal the names. And another thing, the 'Her' likes to call everyone babe, sweetie, honey, and other multiple pet names.

The Mystery

Six Days Ago

He snorted, "I feel bad for whatever bastard becomes your Bitch."

She glared at him. "What a classy way of putting it. Quite honestly I think I'd find you in the same predicament. In the same category as, how do you people put it? Whipped?"

And that was it for Her, she threw her head back and laughed at the two bickering people. "Oh god, you guys are gonna make me hyperventilate from how many fights you guys have. It's just too hilarious."

She crossed her arms and looked away from the two. "Very well, you find it humorous. Nonetheless, I'm here for one reason and one reason only-."

"To get a Bitch?" He mocked.

She gave him a cold look before responding. "No, to get what was taken from my kind." She stood up, "And you know just as well as I do I find no interest in such contact with the opposite gender."

He smirked. "Thank god for that."

She simply rolled her eyes before leaving the room.

He was feeling quite defiant before Her small giggle filled his ears. He glanced at her curiously, "What?"

Her giggles ceased before she too stood. "Face it babe, you're whipped for that girl." And with that she continued her cackle and began to leave the room, and before he could respond she added her parting words. "And what you see in her, I will never know."

He sighed and shook his head before turning back to face the computer in front of him. "Whatever dude, just ignore her." (Me: Or Her if you prefer) The sound of his fingers hitting the keys filled the room repeatedly. After a few minutes he sighed again as the message popped up again on the screen. After a few more moments, he got up and left for bed. Leaving the message plastered across the screen.

SUBJECT NOT FOUND. COMMUNICATIONS DISABLED.

Raven woke up and was immediately hit by a chilled wind. She groaned as she remembered what had happened.

"Am I really that bad of company?"

Raven glanced at Beast Boy before closing her eyes once more. "It's our current situation that depresses me, not your company."

"So you enjoy my company then?" He teased, twisting her words.

One of Raven's eyes peaked open at him. "I never said that."

"It's a very simple 'yes or no' question Raven, do you, or do you not enjoy my company?" He asked defiantly as he crossed his arms across his chest. (Me: Don't you like how many times I wrote 'company')

"Despite how obnoxious you are most of the time I'm around you, I do find your companionship . . . tolerable." She finally admitted, opening both of her eyes.

Beast Boy scratched his head in confusion. "Wait, is that a 'yes' or a 'no'?"

"That's a 'sometimes' Beast Boy."

His jaw dropped. "Cheater!"

"Whiner." She retorted. A small satisfied smile appeared on her face as she saw Beast Boy's mouth open . . . and then close once more. Mumbling retorts he didn't find suitable to say aloud.

"We've been at this for an hour Robin, do you really think we're gonna find anything without Raven to sense for things or Beast Boy to sniff them out?" Cyborg challenged gently.

Robin's eyes seemed in a permanent glare since the avalanche. "We have to." He growled. A hand gently placed itself on his shoulder. "Not now Starfire."

"But Robin," The Tamaranian's voice responded confused. "I am over here."

He looked up and found Starfire a few feet away from him. His eyes went wide and he whirled around only to find the gentle and still snow on the ground. "Alright this is seriously starting to annoy me." He muttered.

"Never would I ever thought I'd say this, but I think there's some ghosts or something in this area." Cyborg agreed. "I could have sworn I just picked up some type of heartbeat on my scanners."

Starfire gripped Robin's arm in fear. "Oh, I do not wish to see these 'spectral beings' I have read so much about. They seem most . . . unappealing."

Robin's expression turned hard once more. "Ghosts or not, we still need to find Slade and figure out what's going on. Titans, move."

Raven stretched slightly as they were finally out in the open once again. "Finally!" Beast Boy shouted next to her. "I was beginning to think it would never stop!"

"Agreed." She looked around, noticing the absence of Titans. "How much do you wanna bet we're supposed to be dead?" A slight laugh rang out. "I wasn't joking Beast Boy, I was being completely serious."

"Uh, Rae." She turned to face him, the laugh still going which her mind had just about processed-. "That wasn't me laughing." -Beast Boy couldn't laugh and speak at the same time.

Both of their eyes went wide as and the small laugh rang out much clearer this time. "Who's there?" Raven demanded, her hands glowing black.

The laugh stopped and then there was nothing again. Beast Boy shivered, and this time not out of cold. "Alright, I'm beginning to think this place is haunted."

"And I'm starting to think you're right." She agreed as she knelt to the ground, searching for any footprints their friends might have left on the ground. "Beast Boy, can you get a scent on the others?"

"I can try." Immediately, human turned to animal and a green hound dog sniffed at the ground. Following some unseen trail. After a few minutes of Raven following the dog in peace, Beast Boy threw back his head and howled.

"I take it you found something?" Raven muttered sarcastically. The dog nodded and soon both were heading as fast as possible in the direction Beast Boy had found a scent.

Robin and Cyborg were both trying to console Starfire about every little sound or sight, considering how the supposed 'ghost' or person that was out here had clearly freaked her out more then usual. The last time they had seen her like this, Raven's powers had been taken, and the house had turned into the worlds scariest haunted mansion.

"But, could we not-?"

"I'm telling you for the last time Star, we can't go back." Cyborg interrupted.

Starfire sighed in defeat and finally remained silent once again, giving both of the boys a vacation from her non-stop talking. Leaving Robin to ponder the facts they had gathered so far: random/ unnatural earthquakes, and Slade wanting to be in a remote area. He sighed inwardly out of frustration and shook his head, that wasn't much to go on.

"Maybe this ghost or whatever is a clue . . ." He thought. "But, Slade only wants apprentices. Maybe it's a new apprentice? It wouldn't serve as much of a surprise then if she/he was the one following us then. If they were trying to study us maybe? The remote area would also make sense, yet it would cause another problem. Not to mention the earthquakes. If this apprentice was powerful enough to cause the earthquakes then why not have set then why not set them on a town or somewhere by now? Or, better yet, why not have attacked us or captured us already? They've had plenty of chances to, right? Why keep them locked up? Even if they screwed up, they'd still end up destroying the city or even worse. But . . . what if the earthquakes aren't caused by someone? But then what-?

"Oh no." Robin froze, getting stares from both of his fellow teammates.

"Robin?" Starfire placed her hand on the still boys shoulder. "Is there something wrong?"

"Yeah Star," Robin responded. "He's building something, or it's already been built."

"But, Robin, who has-?"

"Slade." Robin growled.

"Good guess my dear Titans." All of them caught there breath as soon as they heard the voice, the ground once again began shaking. "I was beginning to think you'd never figure it out."

"Oh no." Cyborg breathed.

Beast Boy had finally reverted back to normal now that foot marks were now easily showing in the ground, so they no longer had need of his 'services' as he had joke to Raven about it.

"You know, you can change back now."

"I knew that."

"I doubt it, you hardly know anything."

"Hey, I got us this far didn't I?"

"So?"

"My services aren't always so freely given."

"Services? What, you're your own business now?"

"Maybe."

"Yeah, just try and tell Robin that, watch what happens."

And that had been the last of their conversation for the past half hour now. But a half hour of silence was a lot to ask from Beast Boy, and Raven should have known better then to hope it would last until they found the other Titans. "So, you think they know we're okay?"

Raven shrugged. "I doubt it. From their point of view, we disappeared under a sheet of avalanche and didn't come back up. At least, not to their knowledge. My guess is they are not exactly sure what happened."

Beast Boy sighed. "Dude, that sucks. We're supposed to be dead." Raven snickered, his ears perked up. "Did you just laugh at my joke?"

Raven cleared her throat, a little embarrassed but not exactly sure why. "Possibly."

"You thought it was funny, didn't you?"

"No."

"Come on Raven! Admit it! You thought it was a good joke, didn't you?"

"No."

"Yes you did!"

"No, I didn't."

"Mm-hm."

"Nope."

"Admit it!"

"Not a chance."

"Oh please Raven?" Beast Boy was suddenly in front of her now, begging on his knees in a very pleading position. Raven couldn't help but feel a small urge to laugh again, but she hid it well. Not even a small smile showed on her face. "Can't you just give me this one memory of a time you laughed at one of my jokes?

"Not true. The first time we all were on the island," (Me: See "Go", one of the Cartoon Network episodes of the series that I am basing ALL OF THIS off of.) "I laughed at your joke."

Beast Boy snorted, standing up now and (without either of their notice) very close to her. "Yeah, once! That's not exactly much of a prize there Rae."

Raven's eyes narrowed. "Stop calling me that! My name is 'Rae' it's Raven!"

"We all have nicknames Raven! Mine is BB. Cyborg's is Cy. Starfire's is Star. Robin's is Rob. And yours is Rae. I can't help it if you don't like yours!" He shouted.

"Well you're not helping my continuing to call me the name that annoys me!" Raven realized somewhere in the back of her mind that she normally didn't get this irritated with Beast Boy's pet name she had for her, but for some reason it was particularly annoying at that moment.

Beast Boy seemed to notice her overdose of PMS as well. "Why are you so angry all of the sudden? It's not like I did anything wrong!"

Raven's fists curled up in frustration, both to Beast Boy and mainly herself for allowing herself to become irritated in the first place. A few seconds ago everything was fine, and he just had to start annoying her, didn't he? "That's just it Beast Boy! You never do anything wrong, yet somehow you're always finding ways to get on my nerves! You're like the permanent loophole in my life, it's just so frustrating! I-!" She stopped. The silence brought on an awkward and tense discomfort in which both parties new was completely unnecessary. Yet neither knew how to proceed with this new feature.

After a few seconds, Raven turned away from him guiltily. "Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-."

"Is that honestly how you feel?"

Raven felt like someone had just slapped her across the face. She was such an idiot sometimes! Beast Boy didn't deserve to have her or anyone else say anything like that to him. "No. It's not." She replied, before her pause could insinuate anything unintentional as well. "I was just getting a little out of control, that's all." She paused once again. "Come on, before the snow gets rid of the tracks."

And then the two began walking in silence once again. And yet this time, neither found any need to break it.

Five Days Ago

Her slightly tanned, delicate finger traced the pattern on the tile for the desk, waiting for the machine to load. "Ugh! This is taking forever!"

"Will you shut up? He snapped at Her as he continued to drum his fingers across the keyboard as He continued to type in the code. "Some of us are trying to work here!"

"Since when do you work?" She retorted cruelly, her fingers moving in the air as she used her powers to do something She refused to let either of them see. All they knew was She was building or fixing something from what they had guessed.

"Since I became a member of whatever the hell you're doing that you won't tell us about." He shot back, fighting down the irritation she normally got out of him.

She seemed to have ignored him, but after a few minutes a slight ringing sound was heard, like a machine restarting. "You're about to find out 'whatever the hell I'm doing'." She answered as she hooked up the strange device to the screen, despite his protests.

Her jaw dropped slightly as she gazed in wonder. "What are you-?"

"Ssh." She soothed gently, not turning to face them.

"LOADING . . . LOADING . . . PLEASE STATE YOUR DESTINATION OR SUBJECT."

She smiled at her accomplishment as the device's voice rang out clearly in the silence. "Subject: Codenamed, Silent Evil." Both behind her cringed as she spoke of their friend so harshly, yet unfortunately, truthfully.

"PLEASE STATE YOUR USAGE."

"Whereabouts please." She answered the machine. Her hands were folded behind her back as if she was addressing someone in her class(as in rank, like noble to noble instead of noble to peasant).

"SEARCHING . . . SEARCHING . . . SEARCHING . . . SUBJECT-."

"Oh-."

"-My-."

"-God."

"-FOUND."

WRITERS BLOCK! Seriously, my eyes are burning from lack of sleep and (since I refuse to be caffeine addict like my sister) I will have to end the chapter here until I figure out a general idea where this story is going. Right now, I'm basically making this up as I go along and I HATE doing that so, I need some time to figure this all out.

Anyway, I appreciate constructive critism for this so far. I REALLY need some 'ideas/help/you suck and you need to fix this comments' so PLEASE review (I don't normally do things like this, I find it quite repulsive and needy but, oh well) and tell me what you think of this story! So, anyways, BYE!
